Visiting The Slave Warehouse

 "I see, while the slave traders get more money, the slaves will get the opportunity to learn and raise their status, maybe even given some important tasks which would earn them recognition, and maybe even gain their freedom," Ryker summarized, earning a nod from the man.

 "Yes. Letting them learn would increase their prices, and give them some chance to escape slavery and bestowed freedom," The man said, nodding to Ryker.

 "And here we are, at the common slaves. Those at the outside are called bad slaves, or in other name, rabid hounds. As for the common slaves, they did not have any specialities, and can only do simple chores. However, if they learn more, they might be able to do more.

 So, they are the group with the highest chance to go further, the only thing stopping them would be death and lack of opportunity," Ryker took the time to see the group of slaves in their quarters. They did not have any rooms for themselves. Instead, they must share one large space with the others.

 "Now here is where the house slaves resided," rows of cells with slaves inside come to view. Different from the common slaves, the house slaves have a room for themselves.

 "The house slaves are able to do regular chores and house works. Some of the more talented and smarter house slaves can even do more difficult jobs like being a secretary and assistance. They are one of the more popular ones, especially the cheaper one as they can do simple house chores while being cheap," the portly main explained.

 "Then, there is combat slaves," the man stopped as they stopped what could be describe as a training field. Rows of training dummies lined in front of the slaves, as they made it their mission to deal some damage to the dummies.

 "They seem good with weapons," Ina exclaimed, her eyes watching as the slaves trained hard.

 "Yes, that is the reason why we call them combat slaves. They are capable fighters that will sacrifice their lives for their Masters. They usually become the guards of the house, and sometime they are brought together for hunting or doing some missions for adventurers.

 While it can be dangerous letting slaves hold weapons, they had been trained to be obedient, even without the usage of the collar," he said before leading them to another section. 

 This time, the two gapped at what they saw. The section is the smallest but without a doubt, the cells also the best one in term of luxury. But that is not the reason why they are surprised.

 What shock them is the fact most of the slaves wear very revealing clothes. Whether they are men or women, their clothing revealed most of their bodies. For those that wore something to cover themselves, they might as well not even bothered, as even the clothes that covered the most skin would still be lewd in some way.

 "Those are the sex slaves, used to satiate the desire and lust of their Master. Though the two of you probably not interested in them so we can move on," the two nodded as they soon entered one of the most luxurious area in the warehouse.

 At this point, the two even wonder if they are still in a warehouse or not.

 "This is for the most talented slaves in our possession. While most slaves tend to gravitate to one tasks, like the house slaves towards taking care of the houses and doing chores and combat slaves towards fighting, these slaves are capable of doing multiple things.

 Some are both sex slaves and combat slaves, some are house slaves and sex slaves, and many more combination. While the other slaves did not have any tier, well, official one that is, the Tier slaves, as we called them, are given different tiers.

 Bronze being the lowest while Gold-tier being the highest. Of course, that means Gold-Tier slaves would be the most expensive of them all. They are also the lowest in number, with only 4 at the moment.

 So, would you-" "How much for the Gold-Tier slave?" Ina asked, looking very interested.

 Both Ryker and the portly man surprised by her enthusiasm. The latter quickly answered her, "Their price range from 100, to 1 000 gold coins," 

 The couple raised their brows at the outrageous price but did not react much. While the portly man thought they were scared of by the exorbitant price, the truth was that they wonder if the price is a little low.

 After dealing with the thugs, and combined with them killing the stalkers sent to kidnap them by the Craw Family, they are loaded. The number of silver coins in their possession amounted to the same value as 10 000 gold coins, at the minimum.

 And the gold coins they have alone is numbered in thousands at this point, thanks to killing the thugs and stalkers.

 When the portly man thought they will asked about the less expensive slaves, the two quickly asked, "Can we see the Gold-Tier Slaves?" the man almost choke but able to hold himself, leading them to where the Gold-Tier Slaves resided.

 As the couple visit the warehouse, a meeting occurred inside a large mansion, the emblem of a crow landing on a skull decorating it.

 "So, lets talk about the slaves we manage to gain," a sickly looking man said, though none of the meeting participants are fooled, for the man is the eldest and most powerful elder of the Craw Family, someone at the 8th Stage Genesis Foundation realm.

 "Grand Elder, my men manage to procure 7 female slaves and 6 male slaves in the settlements of our current hunting ground," one of the young man proclaimed, bowing to the sickly man.

 "Excellent, and how about the rest," the sickly man asked.

 "Grand Elder, I and my men did not manage to get as much as First Brother did, but we do manage to get a twin with beauty that will attract many costumers," a young voice said before taking out projection crystal and showing the image of the twin in question.

 "I see, when you know you can't go for quantity, you decide to go for quality. A good trait. Well done, and an excellent job,"

 The two other young man looked at the center figure with jealousy.

 "And how about you, youngest?" the sickly looking man looked at the youngest person in the room, the rest of the room doing the same.

 "Forgive me Grand Elder, for I only manage to get 18 low quality slaves despite being given the entire city as my hunting ground. Not only that, but I lost two of my men in the process,"
